Saying, let us alone Not that there were more spirits in him than one, as the whole account shows; but he includes the rest of the devils in that country; (See Gill on Mark 1:24).
32
They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
33
In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34
"Let us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."
35
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm.
36
They were all amazed and kept saying to one another, "What kind of utterance is this? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and out they come!"
